Contact shortcut transparency??

[AmphibiousRodent]

Im looking to create contact shortcut icons that are like the system icons...
i want them to have transparent backgrounds... so far i can't, it puts
a black background behind it if its a png, and a white one if its a gif.
is there a way to make it recognize the image as having transparency?

thanks in advance! oh yeah im using launcherPro as well.

I'd love to know if this is possible also - I have all these great little "droid" icons that have transparent backgrounds but they all turn white on my Droid X when I attempt to use them as contact shortcuts.
